Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "Irritation at the state of the world remains the order of the day, but messages come wrapped in vibrant, funky sounds." People determined that "the dance grooves get a little stale, but the MacDonalds still sound assured on acoustic gems like 'Prey'." The Calgary Herald deemed the album "proficient pop smothered in generic harmonies, guy-girl vocal trade-offs, smitten here and there by anemically funky riffs."
The Vancouver Sun called it "a collection of catchy, folk-tinted pop numbers with an upbeat feel." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution concluded that "those who have always loved their cynically mellow attitude, deadpan harmonies and unrelenting wordplay will be delighted."
